Whoso loves, believes the impossible. (?)

We need not think alike to love alike.

To be trusted is a greater compliment than to be loved.

Love does not die easily. It is a living thing.

In real love you want the other person's good. In romantic love you want the other person.

Hatred ever kills, love never dies. Such is the vast difference between the two. What is obtained by love is retained for all time. What is obtained by hatred proves a burden in reality for it increases hatred.

The first duty of love is to listen.

Love does not alter the beloved, it alters itself.

The best thing is not to hate anyone, only to love. That is the only way out of it. As soon as you have forgiven those whom you hate, you have gotten rid of them. Then you have no reason to hate them; you just forget.

The bottom line is that
(a) people are never perfect, but love can be, (b) that is the one and only way that the mediocre and vile can be transformed, and
(c) doing that makes it that. We waste time looking for the perfect lover, instead of creating the perfect love

Nothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime,
Therefore, we are saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history;
Therefore, we are saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone.
Therefore, we are saved by love.
No virtuous act is quite a virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as from our own;
Therefore, we are saved by the final form of love which is forgiveness.
